I came from a family where people were fond of domestic animals. Both my paternal and maternal families were crazy about them, especially cats, dogs, and goats.
During my childhood days, I used to ask myself what triggered them to have an interest in animals, to the point they would have to name them, and when they called, they would respond the way they could as animals.
These animals looked terrified; okay, let me use a cat, for instance. In the night, when there is no light, and you happen to stumble across a cat in the darkest room and stir, the eyes strike like thunder, and immediately you will be scared of it. Another terrifying moment is when they fight with another cat, and they scream high; if you are not careful, they can harm you at that moment. I was always scared when they fought and I couldn't get close to them either to play or present food to them.
However, dogs are the worst, and I dislike them with passion. They can kill immediately. My church member was killed by a dog bite on the leg and blood gushed controllable. They couldn't bring her to live, she died on the way to the hospital because of a dog bite. A damsel for that matter. I wouldn't like to breed any of these in my house for my children or anything. They can be annoying at times, especially if you breed a hen, chicken, or egg. You know how they will handle it. I can remember how my grandmother's dog ate chicken; the following day, my granny sold it to dog butchers. She couldn't bear the consequences or damages caused by the dog any longer.
The goats are moderate, friendly, and playful and they are homely due to how they train them. But the fighting part is what I don't like. Using their horns against one another is what I don't like. My mother has goats in the house for marketing; she usually gives them herbs to sustain them; cassava peels and other chewable peels for goats are usually offered by my mother. The terrifying part of them is the foul smell, the pellets, and the dirty body are what I don't like.
Thank God, the world is revolving, and things in the physical world have adapted to the change. Some homes in the village are not practicing the breeding of domestic animals anymore. Instead, they are looking forward to having the modern and sophisticated animals.
Thank you for reading through.
I love, I care, and I forgive
